Cover: picture sleeve front and back. On the Suspicious Minds side, the Soon available Elvis on RCA Cassettes and copyright info is in blue. There is no thumb notch at the top of the sleeve. This sleeve is slightly larger and textured not slick.
Discovered July 2014, this sleeve offers many unique characteristics. Slight larger in size, textured non slick paper, blue font for the Soon available- Elvis on RCA Cassettes with copyright info Printed in U.S.A. and no notch at the top of the sleeve for easy access to the record. While this cover is interesting, it is not a one-of-a-kind. Recent eBay searches have found a couple of other copies, each with a German single. This is just speculation, however, the cover may have been used with German pressings of this title and may have been found with U.S. vinyl as well, as other copies have been found with U.S pressings.
